85thof46
LARGEST ATTENDANCE IN TEN YEARS
There was a fantastic turnout for the eighty-sixth of forty six. Twenty-one ladies took supper, which is an all time high. Those sitting down for dinner numbered 81, the fourth highest number since I started keeping records 20 years ago. The Mess continues to excel itself with an outstandingly understanding staff serving an excellent meal in wonderful surroundings. However, I may have just about exhausted the goodwill bank with the Mess Manager, who had to deal with 6 late requests 4 days before the off. Please try and return your forms in good time; it’s a lot easier to cancel and return your money than grovel to Karen.

It was with deep regret that just a few days after the Reunion, we learned of the death of one of our former squadron commanders, AVM Sir Kenneth Cross. The funeral was held at Chichester Cathedral and was attended by Sir Freddie and David C-W and a number of other members. We sent a red and white wreath with the dedication:

“In Memory of our most distinguished and gallant comrade. No 46 Squadron Association”

If I hear of a memorial service I’ll e-mail those members for whom I have an address.
